1955 Cadillac Fleetwood, 40,000 original miles This car is one of the finest original cars I have seen in my 40 years in the hobby. It has a true 40,270 miles from new. The body still wears the original factory black paint that still looks wonderful owing to its having been garage kept all its life. It has the rare factory air conditioning that works as it should. The attractive chrome vents in the headliner direct the air as it moves from the AC unit in the trunk up through clear plastic vent tubes to be blown gently on the passengers. It has power windows and power seat for the expected luxury conveniences and they work as new. It has the wonderbar radio and of course power steering and power brakes as you would expect from the top of the line luxury sedan from Cadillac. The 331 cubic inch V8 engine starts instantly and purrs as it runs. It is smooth at all speeds. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly and it steers and brakes as it should. There is a newer dual exhaust system. It is a great driving car. For more photos please go to: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AYtGrNk3ctWLI7A The interior of Cadillacs of this era have always been known for their opulence. The factory brochures had pages of fabric choices for the discerning customer to make their custom orders to suit their personal taste. The interior of this car is excellent. The dash is perfect with all the chrome in excellent condition and the dash pad is blemish free. The headliner is perfect as are all the gray cloth door panels. There is slight wear on the drivers side armrest. The carpets are original and are in great condition but are a little faded from their original gray. The seats are in excellent condition but appear to have seatcovers over the original upholstery that may have been installed when nearly new. The original upholstery may be intact under these attractive and correct looking covers. One interesting thing is that there were only two seatbelts originally installed, one for the driver and one for the right rear seat. This was likely a chauffeur driven car. The body is straight and damage free. I can find no evidence of any repairs or repaint. There are a couple of spots that have been dabbed with a brush and a few small door dings but overall the paint is excellent for having lived almost 60 years. It is way too nice to think about a repaint. All chrome is very nice original. This is a California car since new and there is no rust anywhere. It has been kept in a garage since new and I believe it has had only 3 owners from new. It was kept at a ranch estate here in Ventura county from new. It has been driven sparingly to keep the mileage low but has been exercised to keep everything working. Overall this is a wonderful original car that would suit any collection or Cadillac enthusiast. Feel free to call if you need more photos of specific areas. I have this car advertised elsewhere and reserve the right to remove it from ebay. As is. No warranty is expressed or implied. Thank you for your interest. |

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River
Thu, Apr 9 2015What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.

Ghostbusters trailer stars Ecto1 and a quartet of actresses
Thu, Mar 3 2016"Um... you didn't disclose that the vehicle was going to be a hearse," says funnywoman Melissa McCarthy in the brand-spankin'-new trailer for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot. Traditionalist fans may be similarly angered by the vehicle's basis, since the original Ecto1 was an ambulance, not a vehicle for the dead. Leslie Jones' response to McCarthy wasn't meant to answer those critics, but it does a good job of it anyway: "It's a Cadillac!" Naturally, there's a lot more to look at in the new trailer than just the Ecto1. There are, obviously, ghosts. Lots of 'em, in fact. There's also an opening piano sequence that's pretty darn great, but we ought to warn you that if you watch the video up above, you're going to be humming the theme from Ghostbusters for the rest of the day. We're sorry, but it simply cannot be avoided. You've been warned. Related Video:
Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
